Manage bare-metal nodes

The bare-metal driver for OpenStack Compute manages provisioning of
physical hardware by using common cloud APIs and tools such as Orchestration
(Heat). The use case for this driver is for single tenant clouds such as a
high-performance computing cluster or for deploying OpenStack itself.

If you use the bare-metal driver, you must create a network interface
and add it to a bare-metal node. Then, you can launch an instance from a
bare-metal image.

Note

Development efforts are focused on moving the driver out of the Compute
code base in the Icehouse release.

You can list and delete bare-metal nodes. When you delete a node, any
associated network interfaces are removed. You can list and remove network
interfaces that are associated with a bare-metal node.

Commands

The following commands can be used to manage bare-metal nodes.

baremetal-interface-add. Adds a network interface
to a bare-metal node.
